Road Layout

1. Development must conform with the road and subdivision layout shown at Figure 9-1 in the first instance.

  Any variations proposed will only be considered if they satisfy all relevant environmental criteria.

 Variations which do not affect other landowners will be dealt with by Council on merit.

 Variations which affect adjoining landowners will be dealt with by Council on merit if the agreement of the adjoining landowners is obtained.

Building Envelopes

1. All development applications for subdivision of land must nominate a building envelope on each lot with a minimum area of 300m² and a minimum one way dimension of 15m, suitable for the erection of a dwelling. The nominated building envelope, and access road form this, must be free of any site constraints such as flood affectation, required sewage and stormwater disposal areas, setbacks, watercourses and significant trees.

Temporary Access

1. Temporary right of ways will be considered by Council; however they must be extinguished when permanent access is provided.

Street Tree Planting

1. Street planting must be of indigenous species, preferably using plants grown from locally collected seeds. A street tree-planting scheme is required prior to subdivision and must include elements of mass planting as part of the overall salinity strategy.
